Celebrating body modification culture since 1994.

First of all, it’s still highly experimental, but I coded a cool little “universal comment system” that inserts a full comment system into any static website using Javascript write commands. So now posts here can be commented on both by IAM members and the general public.
To celebrate, here’s a couple pictures of Shane‘s gigantic labret.

It’s no secret that Dennis Rodman is a body art fan, and earlier this year he posed nude for PETA‘s Think Ink, Not Mink anti-fur campaign. Well, guess who made a surprise appearance at a pulling that Tiana and Jeremy (IAM:Jahad2k) recently did in Seattle? That’s right, The Worm!
"Let's face it: When Dennis goes out, he doesn't blend in well."
- George Tiantafilla, Rodman's bodyguard

Ice is back with a brand new invention — guess who hangs out at the New Jersey Tattoo Convention? That’s right, it’s Robert “Vanilla Ice” Van Winkle, with style like a chemical spill:

One of the coolest things about running BME is getting to meet people from all over the world… and one of the amazing things has been seeing how even though we come from different cultures and histories and speak different languages, we respond to body modification, body art, and body rituals in the same way, and it becomes a really obvious example of humans being the same all over the world.
Today let’s start with a photo via the West Coast of Canada where I’m originally from:
Next we’ll shoot over to Star Studio in Bali. These photos are of MrJaxon, Albar, the boss, the tattooist, and a mystery person… There’s more on his page if you’re interested.
Staying in Asai, we’ll move up to Qingdao, China. I’d be surprised if this is entirely legal there?
How about something closer to home like the shores of France?
Or maybe you prefer Brasil?
Speaking of travel, apparently Pingy travels by RyanAir, and has previously been to Pottstown, PA.
